Loading dock analytics
The dock is where your throughput and your detention charges are decided, and it is already on camera.
The problem
Why it keeps happening.
Dock performance is usually measured by exception: a driver complains, a detention invoice arrives, a shift misses its wave. Door-level truth (how long each trailer actually sat, where the idle gaps are) lives in camera footage nobody mines.
The same dock is a collision zone for forklifts, trailers, and people moving on intersecting paths.
The rule
Written the way you'd say it.
“Flag any vehicle dwelling at the bay for more than twenty minutes.”Compile it in the Rule Playground
How it runs
- 01
Measure every door automatically
Existing dock cameras track occupancy, arrival-to-departure dwell, and idle gaps per door, continuously and objectively.
- 02
Flag the exceptions live
Trailers dwelling past threshold and doors idle during peak windows alert the dock lead while intervention still matters.
- 03
Enforce dock safety alongside
The same views enforce pedestrian separation and dock-edge rules: operations and safety from one deployment.
- 04
Trend it in FloFusion
Per-door, per-shift, per-carrier trends put numbers behind detention disputes and staffing decisions, with sealed clips as the evidence.
Measure
What's measured.
- Dwell per door, shift and carrier
- Door occupancy and idle time in peak windows
- People near the dock edge
What it’s worth
- Detention exposure measured and disputed with evidence
- Door utilization gains without adding doors
- Dock incidents reduced by continuous safety rules
- Carrier performance conversations backed by data

Comply
The evidence.
- A clip and frame of the event, sealed with the device’s own key the moment it happens
- The rule that fired, the zone and camera, and the time
- The vision-language model’s verdict on the alert, with its reason
- Who saw it, who acted, and when, in the audit log

Common questions
Can this settle detention disputes?
Yes. Each dwell time is backed by sealed, time-stamped footage of the arrival and departure, which is the evidence detention disputes turn on.
Link to this questionDo we need cameras on every door?
No. It uses the coverage you already have, and most docks are well covered. Gaps found in pilot scoping can be ranked by the value of each door.

The use-case libraryOperations
Conveyor monitoring
A blocked transfer point found in seconds costs an intervention. Found in twenty minutes, it costs the shift.
Operations
Line stoppage detection
Every minute between the line stopping and someone noticing is pure lost output. Cameras notice instantly.
Safety
Forklift–pedestrian detection
The highest-severity risk in most warehouses and plants, watched continuously by the cameras already on the ceiling.
